𝟜𝟚! 𝕄𝕚𝕝𝕖𝕤 𝕄𝕠𝕣𝕒𝕝𝕖𝕤: Pastel Goth

On earth 42 it’s constantly dark, so pastel fashion isn’t a common sight. Meaning for once, you’ve surprised him.

Whether or not you let him he will find a way to draw you. It could be a page dedicated to you in a sketchbook, with drawings and pictures. Or even graffiting you on the side of a building so everyone will see it. (Not worried about danger, they won’t be able to lay a hand on you.)

When something new steals your attention Miles will be on it instantly. And when the prowler wants something he gets it, so it’s guaranteed it’ll be in your hands by the end of the day.

If you have a pair of platforms (No matter the height,) he will wear them for a quick walk. You’d be surprised how well he can move in them, you’re pretty sure he ran through the city in them.

Ever so often when your back is turned he will steal a few pictures, all going into an album dedicated to you. Not that anyone will see them. (Aaron and Rio have caught him multiple times.)

His clothing is a lot darker, less goth but still similar vibes. On occasions he will just… throw a piece of his clothing at you. If you’re cold, his jacket is suddenly on your shoulders. A piece of clothing is missing? Not anymore, this is in its place.

If you are interested enough in ‘The Prowler,’ he might be willing to have another gauntlet made for you. Less dangerous of course but with your own personal touches, favourite colours and any other small detail will be added.

If you have similar size in clothing we will take something, not telling you either, letting you find out what he took. But if not, your accessories will do. Mainly jewllery so he has something of yours with him.

When he has a chance he will ‘play’ with your hair. Either doing elaborate styles or messing it up, ruffling it just before you shove him away. But won’t let you do his. (Yet, is worried you’ll want revenge.)

But if there are days you either can’t or don’t feel like making an outfit he is always ready. As soon as you say yes he suddenly becomes a fashion designer, laying clothes next to each other to test things, adding and taking accessories. Not stopping until he gets the perfect one.

𝟙𝟞𝟙𝟘! 𝕄𝕚𝕝𝕖𝕤 𝕄𝕠𝕣𝕒𝕝𝕖𝕤: Decora

He will compare you to his graffiti, (He means it in the nicest way possible.) and about how he loves both of you and how colourful you are.

At any chance given he will have his sketchbook whipped out, sketching away. And they end up as either a page (or a few) dedicated to you or as future graffiti artworks.

If you want anything whether it’s clothing or accessories he won’t let you pay, his money is already handed over. At some point you bought something on your own and he looked so betrayed. (He didn’t want you to spend your own money now that you have him.)

If you include those colourful band aids he gets so worried. He’s scared that you got hurt and he couldn’t protect you. (Please tell him they’re for design, he will be so worried.) But once he is told he is buying you band aids as well. Whether or not they match he is buying you spiderman ones.

Please let him help choose some accessories, he would be so happy. He knows you wear so many but even a small handful would be amazing! (If you have any red and/or black ones he will choose them. Although trying to fit them in.)

If there is a day where neither of you have money or the energy to go out for a new outfit he will make you one. (I believe he knows how to sew.) Just pick a pattern, a few colours and materials and let him work. It would be one of the most magical items.

Unlike 42! Miles this one can not walk in them, let alone stand. It could be a few extra inches of height and even his spiderman powers could not save him from tumbling headfirst. If he tries to walk you better be ready to help.

On days where he has no schoolwork or spiderman duties he’s taking you to a new cafe or market. (Somewhere new each time.) If he can see you happy, whether it is a new accessory, some food or just seeing you happy.

This dude is so obvious. He will try to sneakily take photos but will end up in your face for the right angle. But in the end he does get his wanted pictures. (Which he sends to the group chat of him, Gwen, Pav and Hobie. Who complain about him and his pictures.) 

Both of your fashion choices clash. How bright and full on yours is compared to his basic and darker colours. But if you get cold, then them clashing doesn’t matter, he will wrap you in his jacket before you know it.

𝔾𝕨𝕖𝕟 𝕊𝕥𝕒𝕔𝕪: Fairy Kei

Assuming you have a sketchbook she will look through it, (With permission this time, she has learned.) and fawn over everything in it.

If she finds out you press flowers she will bring you any she finds, most of the time she doesn’t know which ones they are. She might ask you to press them so she can frame and hang them in her room.

Whether or not you enjoy many things, if there is something she thinks you will like, it is suddenly in your room.

She will find any type of jewllery you wear and (with your permission,) swap a few bits around. A dark necklace with a flower filled pendant has been swapped with one of Gwen’s, gold with small blue gemstones.

When she is on a mission on another earth she will try to find any clothing or books you would enjoy, spending more than needed time on the earth searching through thrift stores for you.

There will be times where neither of you want to leave the comfort of her room. This ends with Gwen playing her drums while you do whatever you want.

In times where you were learning a new language she would try to learn along with you, but everytime she tried it didn’t end well. Always giving up within the first week, but it’s the thought that counts right?

She could spend up to days trying to write the most perfect love letter for you, only for it to end up in her drums so you, hopefully don’t find it. (Spoilers, you did.)

If you are interested in history, either all over or specific times she will bring you to other earths that revolve around them. (As long as it’s safe.)

If you have a drink each morning, she will find out the recipe and when you are away try to perfect her drink making skills. Even managing to surprise you one morning, having the drink made and sitting on the counter for you.

ℍ𝕠𝕓𝕚𝕖 𝔹𝕣𝕠𝕨𝕟: Cybergoth

Hobie is probably the most on board with your fashion, whether it's something you wear daily or only on occasions.

If you give him the opportunity he will add his own touches to your outfits, even your dread falls if you say yes.

Whether or not you say so he will 'borrow' any accessories he likes, flaunting them to *anyone who will look. *This includes everyone.* A good chunk of your fashion is similar to his, so every once in a while he will just… switch them.

If you go to any raves or anything similar he will join you if possible. (Always sneaking you both in.)

He will tease you when you ask him to wear something, but do it long enough and he will cave. Anything you want he will wear it, accessories to full outfits. (Not dread falls, he values his hair.)

If you ever want some new accessories or even an outfit he is your man. He will openly 'buy' (Steal) anything for you. Does it without you somehow knowing, realizing when they are sitting on your desk, along with a note from him.

Whether or not you wear makeup he will help you, but if you do? He is there for every step you do, wanting to get it right so he can help in the future. And when he does? You aren’t doing anything anymore, he is in charge of doing it every day now.

Because he is Spider-Punk and part of the spider society he is often busy doing things away from you. This means he has found other ways to bring you with him, in jewellry (that he stole from you.) or even pictures tucked into pockets. Will show them off to anyone nearby (main targets are Pavitr, Gwen or Miles.)

100% Has and will continue to make songs dedicated to you. Whether they are obvious or not he will know, and most of the time you do too. They can vary from yourself, your looks and fashion to him confessing his undying love for you. (Of course he'll make it so confusing so no one will ever realize.)

Soon enough Hobie will fall in love with your fashion style, and how it makes a statement easily. And what better way to make a statement is with bright and surprisingly comfortable clothing. Often enough you will catch him with matching pieces of clothing, he says they’re comfortable and that’s the only reason but you know, he wants to match.

Play Fighting

Pairing: Kaine Parker x gnSpider-person!Reader

Warnings: Reader gets nose broken but other than that its just some nice Kaine fluff!

Summary: Kaine is always starting fights with you...your about to figure out why...

A/N: So, waaay back in December I had someone ask if I would be writing more stuff for Kaine and the answer is yes. I love Kaine, and if you love Kaine or what to know more about him please check out the amazing artwork by @eughi They are seriously incredible and the soul reason of me finding my love for this man. They also drew my new profile picture and where so amazing to work with!

The pictures they made that inspired me~ Here and Here

Word count: 3,390

Okay…maybe Kaine is right…these meetings are pretty, well to put it in nicer words compared to his…boring. 

Miguel is lecturing everyone while on one of his many platforms placed around HQ, must be a spider thing to want to be perched up so high all the time. 

While Miguel talks, you notice how his words are starting to sound like a jumbled mess of mumbles. Trying your best to hang on to his words, but at the moment you don't even understand what he’s talking about anymore. Now your eyes grow heavy and your head bobs slowly; sleep is here to take its newest victim, you. And right now you think you might as well let it win, what's the worst that can happen? Just shut your eyes for a moment…a quick…small second…

Right as you're resting your eyes and feeling yourself drift, everything is calm, and your breathing becomes more relaxed. It's peaceful…

Until, a sudden push to your body almost makes you tumble over, forcing you to wake and catch yourself. Stumbling to the side your eyes are looking for where the nudge came from, then narrow at the source. Kaine Parker, of course, it was from Kaine your…friend? You guess that's what you should categorize him as considering nothing else seems to be fitting. 

Though you have to use the friend term loosely considering you two are always at each other's throats but you will still hang out on occasion. He’s your permanent pain in the ass, and you think he prefers it that way. 

Peter B had introduced the two of you when you were new to HQ, and the first impression he made was not exactly a pleasant one. When you had put your hand out to shake his hand, he huffed and pushed past you. After that, you thought you wouldn’t see him anymore but the two of you always seemed to keep running into each other, sometimes literally. For some reason you two just couldn’t seem to get away from each other, not that it made him any friendlier. 

Then when you two had to work together on a mission, you thought he hated you considering how he acted. Pushing you out of the way so he could fight, yelling curse words at you, giving you an attitude, and then the cherry on top after the mission was over he would ignore you. Finally, you had enough after a couple of missions and run-ins and you let him have a piece of your mind. 

You still remember how you laid into him, yelling at him about his foul disposition. Telling him how people should be nice when working on missions together, and finally saying you're not going to let him push you around, you can and will push right back. You're not scared of him like everyone else was. 

Once done, you expected him to fly off the handle at you or curse you or something, however, this was not what you were met with. What you were met with was a scowling Kaine, deep brown eyes tracing over you, taking you in, then with a tilt to his head he gave you the thing that made your eyes widen and heart race. The intimidating harshness of his eyes softened to a lidded stare as his lips curled into a sideways smirk, a smug mhmpf seemed to leave his chest before he turned away from you without a word. Since that day, Kaine and you have had an odd friendship. 

The two of you started going on more missions together, sparring together, and eating lunch together on occasion. Maybe he had taken your anger to heart and wanted to make up for it. Though, as the two of you slowly started to get to know each other better, there was something that you learned about Kaine, he loved to pick fights with you…

Kaine didn’t do it all the time but you did start to notice that he started to pick fights with you more and more. Pushing your buttons in only the way he could, then have you push his buttons right back. It drove you insane always having to endure these playfights, sometimes he would win sometimes you would win. In the end, you two always seemed to get back in good graces with each other. Though the play fights have been getting a bit more heated lately…and with this growing frustration in your chest when you're around him you're finding that your anger towards him is feeling different lately…

Like right now as you're finding your feet again you're feeling mad for being awoken so rudely but when you see his tall figure auburn hair cascading down loosely you feel something else and it's making your chest ache making you even more irritated, especially sense what happened last time. 

Kaine keeps his eyes forward and his strong arms folded, acting like he didn’t just nudge you awake. You stare daggers into him before rolling your eyes and going back to his side, eyes narrowed in irritation as you occasionally glance up at him taking in his sharp jawline and flawless hair. Seriously, what is he using in it?  

As your irritation builds so does your confusion, why the hell is he deciding to bother you now? Not able to come up with an answer to this question you decided to just get him back quickly, no way you're going to let him win this. When he pushes you back, he knows this so why test you? Folding your arms you stiffen your body and ram yourself discreetly into his side forcing him to step sideways. Kaine turns his head towards you furrowing his brow as you give him a look of ‘yeah, I did that, fight me.’ -You should have known he would take the invitation. 

Kaine turns so he's now staring you down, you're trying to just ignore his imposing figure, but your concentration is broken when he punches your shoulder; albeit pretty gently compared to when you two spare. The action seems to start drawing attention to the people around you two, but you don’t notice…no…this means war..,.

Turning to face him you clench your fist and punch him back in the shoulder with a bit more force than he did you but not enough for him to go flying, just enough to make him step back. Kaine looks at you dumbfounded for a second before he approaches you at a brisk pace, narrowing your eyes, you lift your arms and brace yourself. Perhaps You should have just let it go? Retaliation of violence is not always the best answer but you're just not going to take his shit, he knows that, and that's why he starts it..just like a perfect pain in the ass.  

A few moments later, cut to you and Kaine wrestling in the middle of the meeting hall with hundreds of eyes looking at you two in shock. The meeting has come to a halt. Some have tried to separate you two but when they tried they were met with threats from you and Kaine. You're both throwing punches, kicking, arguing, and pinning each other down in harsh grunts; till finally Peter B and Ben are pulling you two off each other before Miguel can make his way over. 

As you're being pulled away in haste by Ben away from the scene of the crime you turn and your eyes lock with Kaines as he is being walked in the opposite direction by Peter. Kaine's eyes meet your fuming ones then he gives you that smirk that has your heartbeat racing and fist tightening once more. 

“Uhg! Why does he always have to start stuff with me?”, you yell out to Ben as you deliver a barrage of punches to his forearms. 

“Maybe he was just playing around with you? Better than him trying to fight to hurt you…trust me…” 

You dodge the returning punches from Ben but are not quick enough to avoid the sudden leg sweep he delivers making you fall to the ground. Landing on your back with a slam, you just lay there limply for a minute still feeling sour. Sparring with Ben should be releasing some of your frustrations, but it seems to fail because your mind is still going back to you and Kaine's little stunt during the meeting that ended up with a grade-A ass chewing from Miguel. Now both of you are stuck on night duty for the next couple of weeks. Thanks a lot, Kaine… 

Ben holds his hand out to you, “Night duty isn’t so bad, I use the time to think about my past and practice some new moves like that one.” 

Grabbing his hand you stand back up and dust yourself off, “Well I am happy it works for you but I’m still irritated Kaine got me in trouble….and now I’m stuck with the worst duty…I had afternoons! I loved my afternoon shifts! Now I will have to deal with him tonight…one of us won’t make it out alive…” 

Ben laughs before nudging his head towards you, “You sure you want to fight with him again?” 

You look at him confused before turning around and seeing Kaine thrusting Peter B into the mat…from the noise Peter croaks out you bet it was painful, good thing man knows how to take a hit.

You and Kaine haven’t spoken, you were irritated and didn’t feel like trying to make niceties with Kaine again, you wanted him to get the message that his getting your shift changed wasn’t sitting right with you. though he would probably just tell you to get over it already. 

You continue to watch the mountain of a man moving quickly to avoid punches and delivering relentless punches back. Watching him was making you miss sparring with him a bit, he would always change it up on you to keep you on your toes and he would never pull a punch, it made you tougher and you appreciated it about him. Plus, there is the fact that the man did look pretty great dripping with sweat…though those found images need to be pushed down for the moment. 

Ben clears his throat, breaking you from your trance with an almost knowing grin, rolling your eyes, you get back into your stance. As you and Ben start up training again you find yourself getting distracted still. Your eyes keep wandering to the other matt a bit away where you watch Kaine fight. He’s tied his hair back at this point and is huffing as he continues to exert himself. Then for a moment you see him turn his head towards you, brown eyes locking onto yours, you feel your face heat up for a second before you move your attention back to your current opponent. 

Dodging Ben’s attacks your try to will yourself into not getting flustered by Kaine, you are mad at him…yes, you strangely miss him but he’s pissed you off and you're not talking to him till he makes up for what he did…or until you rant at him again, it’s just a matter of seeing what comes first…though you had a feeling what it would be. 

Continuing to half pay attention to your sparring partner you look back over at Kaine again, and that's when you feel your eyes widen and a bolt of electricity jolt through you. Kaines shirt was over his head, taking off his drenched shirt and throwing it down to the ground. His whole body was nothing but muscle and decorated with mouth-watering scars, he practically shined as the sweat rolled down his skin to his happy trail…your mouth went dry at the sight. 

The thought of the last sparring match with Kaine pops into your head as you keep glancing at him. It was a week before the meeting. Kaine had swept your legs forcing you to the ground in a hard crash. As the air had been knocked out of you Kaine was quick to get on top of you and pin your arms above your head. 

The feeling of his weight on you was…nice…then his intense brown eyes stared down at you as he huffed for air. Not many could tire him out during training but you had been working with him so long that you figured out how to challenge him in a fight. Judging from how the sweat glistened on his face and his brows furrowed down at you, you knew you had given him a workout. Then he did the thing you were not expecting, he started to lean down closer to your face. 

His heavy breaths fanning over your face made a rush of excitement go through you, you still remember how it smelt like cinnamon and was hot on your skin like a summer's breeze, If only he went lower on your neck, it would have made your body shake. Kaine's eyes were soft and lidded, and his lips were just a hair away, for a moment you thought he was going to kiss you, and you foolishly closed your eyes in anticipation. 

Then his weight was off you and you saw him walking away…leaving you to feel like an idiot….

Back to the present, you feel your chest prang for a moment with the embarrassment you felt. 

Then SMACK!

That pain in your chest was quickly changed to one on your face as Ben landed a hit right to your nose knocking you down. Dammit, even when he’s not here he's messing you with, causing you to get distracted now you're on the mat flat on your ass with a bloody nose. Thanks a lot, Kaine! 

Groaning you sit up holding your bloody nose tilting your head up but Ben quickly tilts it back down. 

“Just let it flow out. I am so sorry I hit you so hard, I didn’t expect to land the hit.” 

“It’s fine, I was distracted and it was a good hit.” 

You start to stand up but you feel yourself give out and you stumble back on your ass. Ben is quick to wrap his strong arms around your waist to help you up and walk to get ice for your nose and patch you up. As you two head towards the lounge your spidey senses go crazy then you suddenly feel two large hands on your shoulders turning you around. 

Staring down at you, Kaine's deep brown eyes take in your messed-up face. Quickly Kaine's eyes flick to Ben and he looks like he could kill him. Without a word, Kaine grabs your hand and pushes past Ben with you in tow.  

You turn your head around and see Peter B. go up to Ben with a smirk before he says something to make Ben burst out in laughter. You try to catch what he might have said but you can’t seem to hear anything past your heartbeat in your ears. Feeling his hand tightening on yours you bring your eyes to his broad back as he leads you to the nearest lounge room. 

Reaching the room Kaine swiftly lifts you onto the counter, and you watch as he quickly finds a rag wets it, and comes back to you still in all his shirtless glory. Wincing in anticipation you think he’s going to wipe the blood up harshly, but to your surprise the feeling of the damp rag to your skin is gentle…

Kaine’s eyes are back to those soft ones you saw above you, you quickly move your eyes. Damn Kaine, why does he make you feel this way? One minute he's a rude jerk, the next he's soft and gentle. It's making you confused…just what is he thinking, how does he feel…why does he have to be so confusing all the time? He's been tying your stomach in knots since you first met him! 

You feel like you have a fever as you try to keep your eyes off his exposed chest, but his proximity and his gentle touches are making it hard at the moment. Snapping you back to the present you feel fingers carefully cup your cheeks, causing you to bring your eyes back to his handsome face. The touch is so soft, he looks so soft…

“Deep breath…” he says in a whisper…

You can’t help how it almost sounds seductive causing you to lean in closer to him…

-Crack!-

“What the hell! That hurt!” you scream. Kaine just huffs as he removes his hands from where he just reset your nose. 

“Serves you right, you let Ben land a punch on you. You're better than that.” 

You open your mouth to say something back, but you just shut it again, you're still angry with him, and his shirtlessness. You know if you start arguing it’s only going to get a rouse out of him and you're not wanting to give him the satisfaction of pissing you off further. Raking your eyes over him one last time you move your head away folding your arms the universal sigh of ‘I’m still mad at you’ 

Kaine tries to meet your eyes but you are being amended not to look at him, despite deep down wanting to. Finally getting annoyed with you he grabs your chin to look at you dead on. 

“Don’t tell me you're still mad.” 

You stare daggers at him and he rolls his eyes, “What? It's not my fault you got your nose broken, you should have been paying attention. You should have asked me to spar with you, this wouldn't have happened.” 

And with that, your blood starts to boil causing the final snap. 

“My nose…my nose!” you swat his hand away from your chin but it only causes him to catch your wrist. You can’t care about that right now all you can think about is ranting. 

“I’m not mad about my nose! Well I mean it hurts…but that's besides the point! Of course, I wouldn’t ask you to spar with me you ass! You're always starting things with me, making me crazy! What is with that? You start fights all the time, and don’t get me started on when we were sparring last time! 

Kaine's eyes widen with the mention of it and you feel your chest pring with the realization that from the way he's looking at you…he's been thinking back on that as much as you have. You quickly try to stumble over it, continuing your rant. 

“I-I uh…and you got me stuck on night duty now! Stuck with you! I mean when you're not driving me crazy you're fine! But lately, you just start fights over nothing! Who knows what you're going to start when we are-” 

Then all your words are silenced, Kaine's lips, press to yours in a fierce hunger stealing all your words from you as he guides your lips against his. His large hands grab your hips and squeeze tightly making you groan into his mouth. Your hands instinctively go to his chest, his skin is hot and you swear you can feel his heart racing underneath your fingertips. You wonder if he can feel how your heart is racing at this moment… 

Almost as quickly as it started, it ended with him breaking away from you to look down at your confused face. He’s got that smirk, the same one he always wears when you're mad at him. The one that makes your heart race and all your thoughts evaporate into a haze. 

“Wha-why-huh?” You stammer out.

Kaine brings his hand to rub your cheek, “I couldn’t help it, you look good when you're all pissed off.” 

Your eyes widen at the confession and everything starts to make sense, the fighting…the confusing gestures. Right as you're getting it he pinches your cheek and then starts to walk off leaving you stunned. Then your senses come back to you.  

“Wait! You can’t just kiss me like that then leave!” You yell at him as you get off the counter fighting your now jelly-like legs to catch up to him. 

Of course, he starts something again and doesn't finish it. You will see him tonight however…maybe you can give him another piece of your mind….and get some more kisses...

Hi!! I discovered your blog some days ago, your dadbastian art it's amazing I really loved it <333 it's so funny and sweet :') and I found coattails fic because of it too, do you have any other fic recs with that vibe?

Hi!!! omilord that's awesome of you to say thank you tons🥹 it means a lot, I'm happy to be a proud representative. and OHHH my art made you read Coattails??? that's awesome hahaha my propaganda WORKED!!! \(•[]•)/ read at your own pace and sucks it all up if you're still reading.

as for your question, I unfortunately find it hard to make time to sit down and read a lot nowadays, so I sadly have not been able to read a lot. I do hope to change that soon, but in the meantime, here's a short list of some that I've started/very much plan to read!

The Whole Being Dead Thing: by @milfhandholder - I was first introduced to it when Maia took inspiration from a reaper training fanart I did and showed me her fic, and I was really thrilled. the rest of the fic is amazing so far, I absolutely love looking at other people's interpretations of the reapers realm and how the facility works, and this is a stellar example. basically, world building💯 and the characters are cool.

Black and Baby Blue: by @blackbutler-sideblog - I unfortunately only got to read the teaser/prologue/first chapter(?) so far, but I love the concept so far and really look forward to cracking it. basically, its dadbastian, him having to raise a young o!ciel. and it looks like it will be very sweet and heavy:>

Ludo: by @pain-in-the-butler - same author as Coattails, so you'll like it. it was written during Bard's arc if I recall(it feels like so long ago), it's one of my favorite one shots. so if you feel like you don't see enough of Bardad and his relationship with o!ciel, go ahead.

The Story of Grelle the Reaper: by @eemoo1o-animoo - I also have not gotten the chance to read all of it, but I know I started it a little while ago and I remember really liking the writing(as someone who loves atmosphere and detail). it's a take I've never seen before on Grelle's backstory, and I'm here to see where it goes.

Vigil: by @house0fsugar - I'm incredibly happy they showed me this fic cause oh my god, I don't think I've ever felt so dreadful for the reapers. it's a beautiful story of the reaper gang going back to their graves.... what more can I say. I don't think I've ever loved the group dynamic more. the character building, 💯

Bloom: by @shinigami-dispatch-association - of course I have to mention the fanfic that is directly inspired by the reaper training artwork I mentioned above(its this), now only am I incredibly honored, but I think this fic took every idea I had and made it into exactly what I thought it would be. a wonderful imaginative piece, I hope to reread it soon.

The Little Lost Star: by @grelleswife wrote a while ago, but it was like, the first fanart I every posted here, so ofc I remember it still. it's the sweetest. there are so many other good fics of hers that I haven’t gotten around to yet ugh.

nice to meet another wheat in the dadbastian field☺️ have a good day!

#kuroshitsuji #black butler #op's fanfic #op's writing #my asks #thanks for the ask!! #fic recs #hope i can expand my fanfic reading soon! i know there are some wonderful authors lying about

😭 omg you’re Hades x Persephone artwork is so amazing! I can’t get enough of the comic strips! If you turned this into a comic series I’d totally read it!

I did have a question if you didn’t mind. What would you say your version would be of Hades ‘kidnapping’ Persephone like in the original story?

Can’t wait to see more of your work! Take care!

Strap in cause this is going to be a long(ish) explanation! 😂

Disney obviously took many liberties with the Hercules film, especially with Hades, so I’m kinda putting a twist on the abduction story —

Disney’s Hades is clever and a bit of a snake oil peddler so when it comes to the whole “throwing her over his shoulder and disappearing into the night” narrative, I just don’t see him doing that?

He’s never that direct. He’s got a back-door solution to all his problems.

Here’s how I think he’d do it —

I have the story mapped out like this: Persephone makes her annual appearance on spring and Hades is topside for some reason (possibly plotting the downfall of his brothers, semantics I’m still developing!) when he notices her for the first time.

Based on the show’s logic, I’m gonna assume he doesn’t volunteer to spend a lot of time on the surface during spring, considering how much he despises it.

Anyway, Hermes is making his rounds and notices Hades getting ready to make a move so he intervenes initially. But then, lightbulb! He figures it’s probably best that Hades find himself a wife so he’s too distracted to cause chaos for the rest of the pantheon. From here, he and several other gods start to engineer circumstances to bring Hades and Persephone together.

I’m going for a very Star-crossed lovers vibe on this one, kind of Romeo and Juliet, since historically speaking Demeter and Hades aren’t on good terms. Demeter has already arranged for her daughter to marry another Olympian (in this case, Ares. I’m using him because he’s pig-headed and bullish enough in character to rival Hades as a villain!), this is naturally a bone of contention between the two of them because Persephone can’t stand the guys.

I like the idea of Hades and Persephone meeting up secretly, going on “pseudo-dates” to get away from their Godly duties and the pressures of being them. They begin to discover they have a lot more in common than they expected. Eventually they fall in love and Persephone has to make a decision — break off the engagement with Ares or follow through on the marriage and be miserable.

Of course this is also an issue for Hades so as the conflict comes to a head, he offers Demeter an ultimatum, either she allows her daughter to stay with him or he unleashes the Underworld’s entire soul content on the surface to wreak havoc on the mortal and godly realms respectively (he’s bluffing).

Zeus and Hera both know this but want to see him happy and out of their hair. They decide to play along.

Zeus uses his divine influence to make a deal with his brother in Demeter’s stead, so Hades draws up a contract (as he is wont to do) and the pair of them agree that Persephone is to spend six months in the underworld and six months on the surface working with her mother. Fair enough, right?

Since the whole scheme wasn’t strictly consensual, Persephone is hurt and angry that Hades would be so cavalier with signing away her freedom. Hades tries to explain to her that he was only trying to protect her from marrying someone she didn’t love and by extension not lose her to Ares for eternity in the process.

Although it was “technically” against her will, it definitely wasn’t forced, because I truly believe Disney’s Hades would want her to be happy with him in the Underworld like any other version would. 😂

There’s a lot of build up in my mind before they get to that point, by the time any of this takes place they’re already in a well established relationship, but that’s the gist of it.

She eventually forgives him and they live happily ever after! ❤️

#there’s more nuance to it than all this but #I’m trying to keep it as concise as possible without leaving any important details out #👀 💦 #asks #Hades & Persephone #Disney’s Hercules #Au’s #headcanons #OCS #animechick247 #I hope that answers your question!

Between Us Episode 4 Commentary and Review

For those that haven't read my other reviews. They can be found here. It's right underneath the UWMA reviews. In previous posts, I talk about how Win is possessive but not jealous. There is a difference, and I explain that here. Let me say that for those who are new to me. I am a kinkster, and I write from a kinkster perspective. This is, of course, artwork so it can be viewed differently by other people. However, I will say that kinksters don't hold some of the negative connotations that most view in vanilla relationships. So yes, my perspective tends to be vastly different.

Let's begin! I'm super excited while also nervous. WinTeam have amazing communication skills except for when they don't. I love this brother dynamic so much.

Honestly, this is exactly how my siblings and I act. Grown up? What the fuck is that when a sibling is around?! Well apparently, Win. 🤣🤣🤣 Gamer Bro gives me only child vibes more than the oldest. Win is more like the oldest. Ahh, there is the big brother coming out. It's in there just well hidden.

Is anybody else thinking about a certain Daddy scene? No, just me? 👀

T-Rex, if you haven't figured it out yet, you are an idiot. There has got to be something behind those fierce eyebrows. Apparently not. Congratulations, you've won the white crayon award. As in, he is not the brightest crayon in the box.

Awww, baby bro. You can be anything you want cause Win will make sure of it. They are cute, but damn is sunshine happy. Damn your younger brother knows more about love than you. You might know sex buddy, but you don't know intimacy. Listen to tiny bro. HAHAHA! Okay, sunshine is perceptive. I love it! And omg, the acting!! The way Win suddenly looks like he has been gobsmacked.

The alphabet gang. Um, was he expecting him to come? I thought we all knew he wouldn't. Oh, but he did come, and you guys owe your buddy an apology. There are so many side couples, though. Damn.

A locker full of drinks. That's more romantic than most guys actually get. I like it. Then, back to the group project. Bee is like bitches get out. Bee got one thing on his mind and it's a certain Prince. His crush is so obviouse.

Back to Team. Then to Win. Then back to Team. I'm getting whiplash, guys. Oh no, nightmares again. Win you might be upset now, but not for long. Sure enough, not for long.

Tell us how you really feel Win. They already have sides of the bed. I love it. Ugh, I'm gutted. Look at that gentle touch and the arms open. He's asking. It's completely up to Team, but he's asking because he know Team needs it but won't ask. The soft smiles from them both. One is looking forward to holding the other, and the other is looking forward to finally having a good night's sleep. They both found comfort in each other. For different reasons, but they've found it.

Win like, I'll be your wife, husband, and daddy, but I'll be damned if I'm your mom. FYI, for an amazing read about why the intimate verbiage from Team to Win is so important, check out @notfreetoday and @ellaspore posts. Both can be found on the Coconuts Mafia side blog.

Look how soft Win is when he is with his brothers and Team. Not just anyone gets this side of him. Not even his close friends. That should tell you that Win has long since chosen Team even if he himself hadn't completely realized it. Team is me after a night of drinking. Crawl on the floor and totally excited about food. Now notice that Team brings up his mom and Pharm cooking for him, and that smile never leaves Win's face. Jealousy is not there.

Win is doing everything he can to extend the time he has with Team. That smile never left his face because the time he does have with him is precious to him. Team is just as into the time they have together. Look at him talking about a movie tonight. He himself extended their time.

Win is having to work hard to get Team on the back of that bike. Team isn't an adrenaline junkie; he knows too much the consequences of that. He likes steady and steadfast. He craves security. Hai used the magic words, though. He said, "Trust me and come on." See how easily Team gives in. He is a brat through and through. He isn't happy about it, but he respects his Dom so fine. "Please drive slow, though."

Win won because he got those arms securely wrapped around him. OMG, I love the casual touches. The arm over the shoulder. The natural intimacy. The way Team says Hia and gently pulls on the back of his shirt. I know that a lot of people are thinking of this as whining, but please note that a lot of Doms like to be addressed. That's what you do when you put the name or title first. It's hard to explain. Think of it as a letter, how you address a letter. To whom it may concern or the name. It's addressing, showing respect before just going into dialogue. Now, from my understanding of some kinksters on here, that is not as prevalent everywhere as it is where I am from. I do feel that is actually what Team is doing here with Win, though. A reminder of, yes, I recognize that you and I have a more intimate tie than most.

Yes, Win he digested all his breakfast. A lot of energy was put into holding onto you on that bike. Ahhhh, look at that naturalness again. Team just grabs Win's hand without issue, and Win naturally lets him.

Team is such a foodie. Don't stop him Win, for a foodie like Win it's an act of love. HAHA, you are all equal, huh? Team, you're an idiot. Why would Win care about how girls think of him. Win sets him straight, though, letting him know it doesn't matter what girls think of him. Yesssssss, and he fed him the shrimp. Look how happy Team is. Sharing food with a foodie is the ultimate act of love. Guys, I'm telling you. Food is its own love language. It engages the senses and creates a connection. When words are hard to use, it's an easy way to express oneself.

"I thought you wanted to go grocery shopping. Why aren't you buying anything." 🤣🤣🤣 He just wanted time with you, Team.

Looks are subjective girls!!! Please stop knocking yourself down. Yes, Phreuk, come cheer. Oh, look at that gentle hand to Menow's back. Ahhhh, so cute. I love all the little detailed touches!!!! I adore Phreuk. They are cute. I'm dying. That was smooth, dude. Don't even ask, just tell. Wait, who was arguing with me that Phreuk doesn't have it in him to be Dom???? Did you see that move. I am cackling. So cute!

Here comes the possessiveness. Win isn't jealous of who Team is on the phone with. He is possessive of their time together. This is his time. Then he sees that Team is looking up movies, and they are back on track. I'm dying over the product placement of Iqiyi while I'm watching iqiyi.

I love Win's "The audacity of this Bitch" face. 🤣🤣🤣 Even I'm laughing at you Win. Yeah, you are still cool but maybe not right now.

Team is totally taking advantage of this, and I love him for it. Team is having fun, but you can tell he cares for Win. He changes the channel and easily agrees to keep it to himself. Then Win flashes back to talking to his little brother, and we get this beautiful sequence of love and adoration.

Thank you, Ray of Sunshine! Again, with the casual touches and shared joy.

Ha! Win got Team back on the bike. Win wants to know if Team is used to the bike yet. Team brings up girls again, and Win is not understanding. See you guys, Team IS jealous. He is not secure in the knowledge that Win is his. Now, he could recognize this as a negative emotion and push those feelings down. The healthiest thing to do, though, is exactly what he is doing. Bringing them out into the open to be addressed. He isn't starting a fight, and he isn't accusing Win of anything. He is telling him what everyone says. Win says, "How can he help what other people think?" This isn't an unhealthy conversation. It's a healthy one because emotions are not getting bottled up.

T-Rex, are you trying to die.

Conversations goes right back to where it was with a lot of misunderstandings cleared up. See, intense but not unhealthy. They both walked away from that conversation happy.

The sub trio!!! Each of them teasing why having their own secrets. Run Pharm Run!

Dom trio!!! Look at you calling people out, Win. HAHAHAHA! Love Deans response. Oh, you wanna bring someone extra. 🤣🤣🤣 I love the fact that all of them went for kids from the same friend group!

Ohhh, they got questions about Team. Back off, you can't stop Win. Good, you told him you trust him. I really like that despite Dean being Win's bestie, he is a good guy. He cares about doing the right thing and being a good person. He isn't gonna just side with Win because he is his friend.

"That's how our relationship started." "You started that way but how are you going to end?" "I don't know, but whatever we have right now it is already good." Ugh, how is Team gonna take that. He doesn't look so happy. He missed win saying it wasn't just about the sex and basically admitting he is head over heels.

When in doubt, head to your bestie. Ahh, what is love question. Team says that everything Pharm is describing can be attributed to friendships as well. Including theirs. Pharms says yes, but there are no feelings of possessiveness. 👀👀👀 Oh gee, who could have said something similar. 👀👀👀 hmmmmm. "Because you want to possess him." 👀👀👀

That face of Win's. Dead. But notice how Win waits until he is acknowledged. He doesn't but in to interrupt Teams time with Pharm. He can tell they are having a conversation. When he is acknowledged, he moves towards team, telling him, "Let's go home." Team agreeing but not moving fast enough so Win grabs him by the hand to take him away. I'm sure there will be some of you that think this is jealousy and you are wrong. It's possessiveness. Notice how Win tells Pharm that Dean will be out in a few minutes and how Pharm is smiling because he knows that this is Win being possessive. Win knows Pharm is Dean's. It's just that now it's his time with Team, and he is possessive of his alone time. Remember, Win isn't used to having something that is ALL his. And he doesn't desire to keep Team all to himself but be damned if he doesn't savor those moments when he does get him all to himself.

Win is gone. Gone.

We know why you like the bike Win. You ain't fooling, nobody.

OMG, this was such a good episode. And the side story!! So cute!!! I don't care that it was a promotion. It was adorable. Hope you guys enjoyed it as well 💜💜💜 As always, this is dedicated to my amazing followers and the Coconuts Mafia.

Being part of the Warriors of Hope

[ PLATONIC HEADCANONS ] [ Kotoko, Monaca, Masuru, Jataro, Nagisa ]

[ Danganronpa Ultra Despair Girls ]

⚠️ This contain a little bit of spoilers

You know, being part of the WOH and being their friend ❤️

Kotoko Utsugi

If you're a girl (a related gender or even GN) she will drag you to do girly things whit her. But if you're a more femenine boy she will tease you for that, making some jokes about it, but with time she will stop, she just need time to trust you

But if you dont like girly stuff it will be more dificult for her to be your friend, maybe just sharing some jokes or hunting demons together

Definitely, being her friend will include going and doing everything together, both of you will always going to dress up, play around, make fun of the demons, talking about how cute Monaca is, u know the normal thing

Maybe even she will perform with you! Something from when she was the ultimate lil drama (but we dont talk about it). And you will have the honor to join her, changing the scene for something more funny!

Sometimes both of you will share chats about your pasts, she will tell you about her father and mother (but she will act like she don't care), and you will share your own story, to finish talking about how incredible is the paradise in which you are working on.

Masuru Daimon

Both of you will go hunting demons together! (if you actually do he will be really happy). Will make this a competition to see who hunts the most demons (whoever win will probably end making fun of the other haha)

He is always saying that he is the leader of the Warriors of Hope, but if you actually tell him that he is (even if you are just joking or to tease him) he will be flustered and proud scratching his head saying "awhh, shucks!"

He is always up to play and will force you! You better get ready to keep up with him, he is not going to slow down! And, of course, he's going to make everything a competition.

He will say that his robot is better than yours, obviously he has the best, he is the leader after all! Probably you're going to go around the city with your robots (mostly to show off, he loves to show off)

I don't think he stops to talk about his past, he prefers to talk about how amazing he is and how many demons he has hunted

Jataro Kemuri

You want to spent time with him? Thats weird

At first he will think that you're going to make fun of him (he thinks everyone hates him), but if you show real interest in him he will be so confused! Don't you hate it? Why?

It took a while to acept that you want to be his friend, but after all you've been through (all the thing with Junko, killing their parents and becoming the Warriors of Hope) will trust you, at least a little.

You will be the first he show his art, maybe even invite you to make some art with him. Hunting demons together for their next artwork too!

If you call him weirdo or creepy he will think you hate him again, it will be even worst since you're (probably) the only person how he really see as a friend

It doesn't matter what, you won't get him to take out his mask, he just doesn't want your eyes to melt!

Maybe he doesn't understand why you are his friend, but he appreciates it

Nagisa Shingetsu

He just expect you to do your part of the work, all of you still have a long way to build your paradise for children!

Even if you are his friend he will remain serious, he still have a big responsability (also he just want to please Monaca). But you will be able to make him take a rest and relax, maybe even play a little or going to hunt demons together!

When you invite him over to go demon hunting, to play or just hang out in general he will get a little flustered and will accept shyly, he is not used to be treated like a kid (even if he is) he is new in all of this

Also, if you praise him for his plans (or just for how smart he is) he will bush and be so flustered (he's not used to recive genuine cumpliments!)

It would be common for both of you to talk about your past, but most about the paradise you're working on

Monaca Towa

To be honest, at first she will see you just as someone who can use for her plans. If you truly manage to become her friend I dont think it will be to much change.

A bit of favoritism here and there, wanting to truly hang out with you, maybe you push her chair around (just for fun)

Even if the others notice that she treat you a little better no one will say anything, she will start crying and no one wants to upset Monaca! (she will take advantage of that, even against you)

Probably you two will hang out with Kurokuma, even if she says he's annoying.

There's a chance you could see a little more of her true colors, but not too much, she still need to be seen as the sweet girl

If you discover her plans she not going to hesitant to do something against you, even if your her friend her plans is more important. But if the case is that you support it thats another story

mike's s4 body language (vol2)

hello everyone, and welcome to vol2 of my mike s4 body language analysis! before I start, I would just like to thank you guys for all of the love on vol1. it truly means the world to me, and feel free to submit any other things you'd like me to do an analysis on. now onto the analysis.

-

vol2 was a whirlwind, to say the least. I know many people (including myself) couldn't watch the rest of the volume without thinking of the painting scene and how they'd used will being gay to further/"help" mlvn (something that I'm still seething about), but in vol2 we actually see a lot deeper into mike's mind that people think. let's go in order, starting with the painting scene.

-

now I don't know about you, but this scene hit me like a ton of bricks (me being a will kinnie jumped out). will crying, mike not picking up what will was putting down, jonathan catching on to what was happening through the rearview mirror. all of it was just so intense, so let's take it step by step, line by line, screencap by screencap, and really get a sense of what's going on.

"Can I...show you something?"

in the painting scene, obviously will asks mike if he can show it to him, and mike just nods. his eyes are glued on will's face, only shifting to the painting when we also have it in view, but his eyes quickly go back to will's face. when will hands it to him, mike looks back and forth between will and the painting, a way of asking "...for me?" (despite will literally having asked if he could show him something).

as soon as mike sees that it's a painting, his face lights up. this is the happiest he has been the entire season, and all because of a painting.

"This is amazing. Did you paint this?"

so Mike lacks critical thinking skills, hooray, but one thing I noticed about this line is that he uses his Will Voice™ (and if you remember from my last analysis, mike only ever uses this voice when talking with will, to will, about will, something that, in this scene, becomes widely important).

also, the pure joy on his face and hopefulness...it's almost like he needs for this to have come straight from will (something that brings me back to mike's life falling apart after will had moved, the one consistency in his life being him having kept up all of will's artwork...).

"Yeah, yeah. I mean, El...asked me to. She commissioned it, basically. I mean, she told me what to draw."

The second that mike hears will say that it was el's idea, his excitement over the painting dwindles. he was wanting it to be from will (and it is, but he's so caught up in so many things that he's not able to put 2 and 2 together in the moment).

"Anyway, my point is, see how you're leading us here? You're guiding the whole party, inspiring us. Tha- that's what you do. And see your coat of arms here? It's...it's a heart, and I know it's sort of on the nose, but that's what holds this whole party together— heart— because, I mean, without heart, we'd all fall apart."

this part of will's monologue is about mike (obviously), and mike looks deep in thought, like he's hanging on to every word that will is saying, really taking it all in, living in how will feels about him, how will views him, but then...

"Even El. Especially El."

...will mentions el and suddenly mike seems less interested in the conversation, slight confusion coming over him. after all, will had just been saying how he felt about mike, but then started talking about how el feels about him. but mike already (or should) knows how el feels about him, so he's not interested in hearing it again. not when he hasn't heard will tell him how he feels towards him in such a long time (discluding their fight, of course).

"These past few months she's been...so lost without you. It's just, she's so...different from other people, and when...when you're different...sometimes...you feel like a mistake."

in this scene we can clearly see through jonathan's pov in the rearview mirror that mike isn't as in tune with what will is saying anymore, like he's trying to distance himself from the conversation now, that is until will says "and when...when you're different...sometimes...you feel like a mistake", mike is looking directly at will, and his facial expression goes from disinterest to worry and concern, glancing up and down, like some outside force is causing will this pain (most likely wanting it to be an outside force because he's fought outside physical demons before, but helping will fight his inner ones would prove to be much harder, even if it can be done, him wanting to be able to sooth will and make him feel okay), and his expression stays this way through the rest and up until the end of the monologue.

But you- you make her feel like she's not a mistake at all. Like she's better for being different, and that gives her the courage to fight on.

at this, mike raises a brow, showing the slightest bit of relief wash over him. "okay, so, will isn't totally miserable, he's not entirely okay, but he's not entirely not," like an "I can deal with this, I can help, I can do something. just being here I am doing something. okay. good. this is good." it is so clear that, in some respect, even if that is subconscious, he knows that (at least a part of) this is about will still.

If she was mean to you or- or she seemed like she was pushing you away it was probably just because she was scared of losing you, just like you're scared of losing her.

with this line, will loses mike again just a little bit. the person will saying these things about not clicking in mike's mind. he knows that what will is saying about el isn't true, because el wasn't being mean to him. she wasn't pushing him away. in fact, she was trying to get them to be closer, wanting him to say one word. one. but he couldn't/wouldn't (at this point). and mike isn't stupid. he may have his dumb moments, and he may be clueless and oblivious half the time, but he is not stupid. so he knows that what will is saying isn't about el, but he's just not clicking that will is talking about himself.

And- and if she was going to lose you, I- I think she'd rather just get it over with quick. Like ripping off a bandaid.

mike takes a big gulp at this. he swallows hard, glancing at will up and down again, the short relief he had leaving just as quickly as it came. he's worried and scared because he knows that will isn't talking about el, but with mike not having been able to put 2 and 2 together quite yet, it is so clear that he is terrified of losing whoever it is that will is talking (whom we all know is will, but mike doesn't).

So yeah, El needs you Mike, and she always will."

when will says "el needs you", mike's takes a deep breath in and it appears that it gets caught in his chest, it having risen but not quite fallen. we don't see his reaction to "and she always will", but when we do see his face again, it is so clear that something has clicked inside of him. he knows something, even if it's not everything that will was trying to convey, but he knows at least some of what will meant, possibly even knows (again, even if that is subconsciously) that will was talking about himself.

"Yeah?"

the Will Voice™. I can not stress this enough, this is the most will voice that his will voice has been the entire season. like, it's as soft as it was when he said "yeah. yeah, I really do" back in season 2 when he was reassuring will that everything was happening for a reason. and something I like to say about this "yeah?", this specific moment he uses his Will Voice™, because it feels like the only way to really get my point across (and it's something that came to me when I mentioned to my twitter gc for the first time that he used his Will Voice™ in this scene): the yeah was yeahing.

but that's not all. he doesn't just use his Will Voice™ here. no. it is so much more than that, because he's also smiling. a worried smile, sure, but a smile nonetheless, that excitement from when he saw the painting coming back to him because things are starting to click.

so not only did he use his Will Voice™, which he only uses when talking to will about will, but he smiles. take a minute to let that sink in.

"Yeah."

mike closes his cheesy grin to a tight-lipped smile, just like the one from season 2 when he'd said the infamous line of "crazy together". the same. exact. smile, only BIGGER, and then he goes right back to ogling at the painting.

-

now I'm going to skip over the monologue, because I don't feel like watching it again, because there's too many different theories that everyone, regardless of ships, has talked about or come up with, and I'm not getting in the middle of that. this is a fan/ship war free zone, so let's skip straight to the cabin scene, shall we?

-

so the cabin scene, one that we'd been anticipating since about halfway through the month of june when we got those two photos and a gif leaked (what a time, what a time, what a time). let's start pre-couch.

"Did she...talk to you at all?" "Not much. I mean, a little bit."

So Mike has just confessed his love to his girlfriend, something that she's waited almost an entire year for, but then she doesn't talk to him at all...? and he does seem genuinely distressed over it, which is good, but it comes off more as annoyance than anything else (at least to me, but you can view that bit however you'd like).

"Dr. Brenner says she wasn't ready, and she's starting to think he's right." "That's crap. If it wasn't for her, if she hadn't left the lab, Max wouldn't be alive right now." "I know. She's um...she's never lost before. Not like this." "She'll have another chance." "Let's hope not. Let's hope One is dead and rotting."

Once again, a byler heart to heart starts off as something else, not having anything to do with them and their relationship (and it doesn't at all, but it does show how strong their connection is, and I'll explain why).

"He's not."

Mike immediately snaps his head to look at will. you can see as the gears begin to turn, as everything starts to come back into his mind, as he starts to think about everything that he's seen will go through (after all, he was there by will's side the entire time, all up until they left to go exercise the Mind Flayer out of him and he was forced to stay behind).

Now that I'm here, in Hawkins, I can feel him. And he's hurt. He's hurting. But he's still alive. It's strange, knowing now who it was the whole time, but I can still remember what he thinks...,

we get to see mike's face again after this, and he is terrified. the way he's look at will is with pure fear and worry. he is so afraid and so worried because he doesn't want to have to see will go through all of that again (not to mention his own trauma that goes along with that).

when will says "this whole time", mike even quirks a brow, and you can see that there's anger that begins to bubble up in that fear and worry, because now mike knows, too, that this whole time it was Vecna who had been messing with will's brain, not the mind flayer (because vecna is controlling the mind flayer).

"...and how he thinks...and he's not going to stop. Ever. Not until he's taken everything and everyone. We have to kill him."

at this last bit of will's THIRD monologue this season, we see mike in deep thought, like he's already coming up with a plan while also trying to push down all that emotion he was feeling before and we get to see as that switch flips from clueless and oblivious to protector mode. we get to see as he gets, as finn said, kicked into gear, which is only furthered by the 5 words he says in response.

"And we will. We will."

once again, Mike pulls out the Will Voice™, this scene being a direct parallel to in season 2 when he says "we won't let him" in regards to the mind flayer spying back, and instead of a handhold, we get a shoulder touch. but he's holding onto will's shoulder for dear life. like, look at this:

like, that has got to hurt. I mean, mike is digging his nails into will's shoulder, all the while his thumb is there in a more comforting manner, and if you pay attention to it he rubs his thumb against will's shoulder lightly, his grip slowly relaxing as will relaxes, too.

mike is trying to hard to make will feel okay here. he is more worried with will in this moment than anything else. he even glances at will up and down again, like he's watching all of will's nervous ticks and watching his breathing, wanting nothing more than for will to be okay. that's what this entire scene is, because it's from his point of view. mike's point of view.

-

my basic conclusion is, mike started out this season not being himself, struggling without his best friend by his side, but when he sees his best friend he still struggles. there's something more we're not seeing. as the season unravels, he's split in two. one part of him solely focused on el, the other just seeming off. but then the painting scene happens and it becomes clear that he, one some level, feels the same way will does, only furthered by his reaction to what will said at the cabin. all of this tied with what we've been told so far about will's role in season 5, I think that mike himself will have an arc in s5 that covers not only his internal thoughts and realizations (everything from him that we didn't get so see this season), but also his trauma and survival.

Just Two Art Majors

hwang hyunjin x reader

word count: 900

You look at the finishing touches of the sketch you just made. You had always found campus so beautiful. The old structures, the peace that came within the courtyard of bustling bodies making their way to their next lectures. You smiled as you saw a familiar pair of shoes next to you. Felix groaned as he dropped his bag and sat next to you. “Long class?”

“Yes. I have another project to do. At least we have partners this time.” He said as he looked over to see what was in your lap. “You finished it?”

You nodded and handed him the sketchbook. You picked at your sleeves as Felix looked at all the details you had put in. “Y/n, this is amazing!” You blushed as you muttered a small thank you. You didn’t find many people in your life who appreciated the artwork you’ve done. Your parents considered this just a hobby of yours but when you went to them asking to be an art major, they quickly disapproved. Felix on the other hand, he loved seeing the work you produced. 

“You know, I should introduce you to my friend Hyunjin. He’s also really into art.” Your heart dropped and your face got red. Hwang Hyunjin, also an art major, was one of the heartthrobs of the university. He was quiet and kept to himself. Felix had mentioned he was part of his little friend group. You knew Felix wanted to introduce you to his other best friends but knew how you were in social situations. Social anxiety is a bitch.

Felix watched you play with the ends of your sleeves, clearly in deep thought of whether or not you should take up his offer. Felix smiled as he spotted his tall friend walk into the courtyard. “Hyunjin!” He shouted and waved him over.

Your head shot up as you heard Felix shout for Hyunjin. Panic started to course through your body. Your mind was telling you to get up and run but you couldn’t move at the same time. 

Hyunjin gave the two of you a small smile. Felix moved closer to you as he patted next to him, an indication for Hyunjin to sit next to him. “We were just talking about you, hyung.”

“Good things I hope.” Hyunjin said as he sat down, resting his back against the tree trunk.

Felix laughed. “Of course. I was telling y/n here how much you’re into art. Like you, she’s also an art major.” Hyunjin raised an eyebrow before looking over at you. You gave him a small smile and wave before playing with the ends of your sleeves again. “She actually just finished a sketch she was working on.”

The tips of your ears began to burn. You’re not used to so much attention on yourself. “Is that so? Can I see it?” Hyunjin said as he looked at you. 

Your eyes went wide before nodding. You hesitantly took out your sketchbook before handing it to Hyunjin. He gave you a smile before looking at all the pieces of work you’ve done. “Wow.” He said after a few moments. “These are amazing. You have some great talent.”

“Thank you. I’ve been doing this since I was a kid. I’ve always felt a sort of comfort when I sketch or paint. It soothes me.”

“I agree.” Hyunjin said as he closed the book and handed it back to you. “How come I’ve never seen you around? Or in any classes? Surely we have some together.”

“Oh, umm well we do. I just typically keep to myself. I don’t talk to that many people. I usually sit in the back.” Hyunjin hums with acknowledgement. A small ‘I see’ following.

The two of you watched as Felix stood. “Well, this was fun but I promised Channie-hyung I’d go meet up with him after class. I’ll see you guys later!” Felix gave you a quick kiss to the head before running off.

Silence overcame the two of you. “Do you pick at your sleeves a lot?” That shocked you. It’s become such a nervous habit that you don’t even realize you do it anymore.

“I-nervous habit.” You said quietly. You glanced at Hyunjin as he moved to sit closer to you.

“Am I making you nervous?” You let out a small laugh before nodding. He looked at you with slight concern. “Did I do something to make you uncomfortable?”

Your eyes went wide. “No! Absolutely not! It’s just my social anxiety and well, talking to one of the hottest guys on campus isn’t exactly helping.”

“You talk to Felix just fine.”

“That’s because we’ve been friends since we were kids. Our parents work together.” Hyunjin hummed in acknowledgment yet again.

Another wave of silence came yet again. This time you were the one to stand. “I should be going. I have another class in ten minutes.” Hyunjin stood with you.

“Listen, y/n, do you maybe want to go to this café off campus? It’s a small one that my friend works at. We can get to know each other better. I find you to be very interesting.”

You smiled. “Are you asking me out on a date?”

Hyunjin’s ears began to turn red as he nodded. “It’s a date then. My class gets done at eleven tomorrow. Pick me up then?” You didn’t know where this new found confidence was but you were loving it.

“Yeah, I’ll pick you up at eleven.”

“It’s a date.”

Tagged by @tannoytalks!

To play, tag 9 people you want to get to know better or catch up with, and then answer the following questions:

Four Ships:

(Possible spoilers for the media each ship is from)

—–- Singed + Silco (Arcane): I'm actually so new to this ship, but my brain suddenly decided to hyperfixate on Singed, and Silco was already one of my favorites too, so just... dubiously united villain couple hello??

The fan fics I've read of them so far are delicious as fuck, and the artwork I've seen is juuuust amazing. Wholesome stuff, dark stuff. I love it all.

And I love the idea of Powder occasionally interacting with Singed, and like he's not really her dad (he's Viktor's heh), but he's still a second wise adult figure in her life, and he uses his thorough understanding of what makes Silco tick to help Powder with communicating with him (or hiding certain little things from him huehue).

Singed is the only character that Silco is never once seen so much as manipulating, let alone intimidating or threatening. I like to think Silco knows that Singed is kind of in a league of his own, and that if he tried to boss him around in the wrong way, Singed could very easily end him in his sleep. Or worse. :3

Though I don't think they hold any animosity towards each other. I don't see it as a very tense relationship. If anything, I like to imagine that they care about each other in some sort of way. Sure, it's partially because Silco provides the space, funds, and test subjects while Singed provides vital medical help and, well, Shimmer. But I'm a sap, so maybe there's a slight bit more there, I dunno!

—–- Misaka + Kuroko (A Certain Scientific Railgun): Listen. Surgically remove Kuroko's... egh, Problem. And you have an utterly gorgeous relationship.

OR, at the very least, actually do something with her obsessive nature! Tell a real story with it. I literally went through a similar (not sexual) thing in real life, and I have told the story of how I overcame it. I would ADORE seeing Kuroko remain problematic, but then grow past it, and learn to respect Misaka fully.

But if noooot... there's always the option to just get rid of it entirely because holy shit is Kuroko's admiration and trust in Misaka beautiful. The way Kuroko lays down her life her, appears in an instant to aid her, forces herself not to pester her for days and weeks despite agonizing over whether Misaka is okay... The way she takes pride and comfort in doing those things for her, how she calls out her name lovingly while fighting for her. It touches my heart so much, man.

And Misaka, despite how often Kuroko annoys her, knows she can rely on her and be vulnerable around her. She values Kuroko's thoughts and cares how she feels about her, past all that Level 5 "Ace of Tokiwadai" stuff. She's protective of all her friends, of course, but I always imagine that she holds herself double responsible for Kuroko's safety. She's who she thinks of first, every time. Misaka recognizes when Kuroko is pushing herself too hard, and she softens in such a genuine, nurturing way to assure her that she can rest easy.

The level of dedication these two have for each other is wonderful, and how could I not ship them?

—–- Aizawa + Toshinori (My Hero Academia): Honestly, I like a lot of MHA ships, but this was my first OTP for that series, and it's simply because despite having a very prickly start, their relationship grows into this very gentle mutual respect and protectiveness of one another, and it's just... so cute! And it hurts me so much.

I've read a lot of fics, written a lot of roleplays, seen a lot of art, and watched a lot of AMVs. I feel such a deep heart-throbbing when I see them together. Caring, protecting, sacrificing, mourning, fighting, regretting, saving, comforting....

Sometimes I don't even know how to describe it, but I have cried over these two so many times. I want them to be happy. I want to see them suffer on the way there. I want them to recognize their own inner demons when they look into the other's eyes, and then commit to being better because of each other. I've seen them through every AU I could think of within—god, however many years I was in love with them. And I can still remember why.

—–- Rouxls Kaard + Spade King (Deltarune): So I find both of these characters unfairly attractive in many fanarts, and they are one of my favorite mutually toxic relationships.

I credit one of my friends and his amazing unfinished series about them for the way I now envision them and how they interact. Spade could likely be called abusive simply due to his violent nature and power over Rouxls (both physical and social), but Rouxls is a manipulative, lying little weasel who is using Spade as much as Spade is using him.

Neither one of them have a damn clue how to treat another person right, though they both try and succeed (more often than not) with Lancer. Perhaps it's his innocence in all this, but unlike their terrible, broken relationship with each other, their relationships with Lancer are actually strong and outwardly loving.

Spade isn't nearly as aggressive with him as everyone else, he does what he thinks will make his son happy, and while he may sometimes be clipped, he isn't dismissive. Meanwhile, Rouxls tells himself Lancer is not his son and shouldn't be his responsibility, but dammit he loves the kid anyway! Lancer's smile brightens his day, and Rouxls will even risk getting himself in trouble with the king in order to give Lancer happiness. He puts off his own wants for him, does what he can to comfort him when he's sad, and frets QUITE heavily about his safety (albeit that one has a double-motive—obviously the king would kill his dumb ass if Lancer got hurt under his watch, but that's beside the point, he sayeth!)

Anyway yeah, Dad and Lesser Dad plz.

I can't overstate how much I love seeing fiction depict complex, nuanced relationships with plenty of toxic elements to examine. It's a way to relate some of their traits to my past mistakes, or even my current flaws. It helps me understand myself better. Also it's hot! x3

And really wholesome if the characters manage to actually improve themselves and start showing real affection and care for each other.

Last Song:

Gomenne Gomenne by Kikuo (My favorite versions are sung by Teto and Kyo V3)

Currently Reading:

Started reading Singed-centric fan fiction, including an adorable fic where Powder shows him her Minecraft world, a dark one where he tortures a test subject, and a delightfully tense one where Silco demands to be burned.

Last Movie:

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.

It was actually a genuinely awesome time and I didn't expect it to keep my attention like it did. Great mix of funny and serious! I enjoyed it a lot!

Craving:

Need Singed torture fics or roleplays,,,, I'm offering up my Kib for the slaughter lmao.

I Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You~

how aaron z and robaire stare at you.

Robaire

a random trip to france was not what you were expecting but non the less you were very happy. you saw so many new things and tried many new things as well. shit was straight out of a movie for real (the irony..)

everything was so beautiful and Robaire couldn’t seem to take his eyes off of you the smile on your face was one to light up a room. sometimes to startle you he would creep up behind you and put his hands on you hips and whisper sweet nothings in french (i’m such a hopeless romantic). he’d often do this while you were getting ready to go in front of the mirror or when you were looking over a view of the beautiful city of love.

the look on your face he couldn’t help but get butterflies. he sings songs about love but since when do love songs feel like this?

you always look at his expressions and see the way he looks at you. it’s like the first time you guys met all over again. such softness and amazement. like when you go to a museum and you see a piece that’s really beautiful. you take in every detail of that piece and try to look for the beautiful imperfections. until someone points it out to you or you find it and it makes you have even more gratitude for the piece.

he looks at you like you are artwork and when you stand there next to the ocean with a smile on your face he can’t help but stare at you like you’re so delicate.

he looks at you like you are a piece of art.

Aaron Z

often you guys go to little movie drive ins. not only is it just time to sit in the backseat of his car and cuddle, it’s an escape from being famous. it makes him feel like he doesn’t have millions of people who watch his every move.

you guys had planned to watch a comedy movie but it turned out you guys had actually came to the wrong place of the drive in and ended up watching a horror movie, terrifying experience. it didn’t help that it was 2AM either, but you both had each other.

the ride back was just blasting music like PARTYNEXTDOOR, Bryson Tiller, and Cigarettes after sex (let’s just say this was in 2022). the highway was empty but you and Aaron were very much awake. He suggests that you guys go to a secret spot and watch the stars before going back home, to which you of course agreed.

when you guys arrived to the place he popped open the trunk and you guys sat there and watched the stars. they were glowing so bright he swore you put them there, and he swore he saw the whole galaxy in your eyes that night. you were so lovely seeing you relaxed and at ease.

he looked at you very closely like if he had to look away you’d be gone. he loved having you there the way you held him and treated him with such love was something he could always get used to. he didn’t want you to go. he only got even more flustered when you told him “take a picture it’ll last longer”. he didn’t hesitate.

he looks at you and all he can this is how precious you are. thats how he looks at you. he looks at you like how you look at your favorite character in a book, you completely adore them and you can easily think about all the things that make you love them so much, and while doing so it makes you smile. sometimes it’s embarrassingly cheesy smile but how could you help it when they’re just so.. them.

he looks at you like he adore you. truly.

***

it got really poetic but i was listening to Cigarettes After Sex.. so likeee who could blame me.

[em-writes-stuff-sometimes]

JUST A REMINDER TO EVERYONE:

My interpretation of Daemon is one of many. I enjoy writing him, but I'm in no way an authority on this character. That'd be the ones responsible for bringing him to life: George R. R. Martin, the writers on HotD, and of course, our lovely Matt Smith.

But there are also so, so, so many amazing fanfic writers out there who have absolutely INSANELY AWESOME takes on his character, and I'm honestly just happy to be vibin' here.

I'm so glad people are enjoying my writing, but it's always valuable to note that there are heaps of great contributors to this fandom and we should value each and every one of their works. Together, they help shape our collective understanding of this character we all love (and love to be appalled by).

I've been seeing some really toxic behaviours in our fandom and others, whereby fandom creators are indulging in the echo chamber of feedback they're getting for their work and positioning themselves as 'experts'. I just wanted to remind everyone - myself, my readers, and my fellow Daemon hos - that we are all, in our own way, helping shape pop culture's perspective of him. Every artwork, every fanfic, every analysis and every thirst post has some kind of value in adding to the complexity of our feral meow-meow. Fandom is such a rich source from which characters can be fully-realised, and fandom is a community, not an individual.

I am grateful to be part of it!

Note: this isn't motivated by anything other than the vibez and the 1am sleepless high. Be cool, broskis (which is a gender neutral term and I stand by that -).

Hello, Happy (late? Its 1 am so I think technically late) birthday :) I just saw in yer tags that you decided to play Slay the Princess on your birthday, and I wanted to ask what you thought of the game :)

thank you~ ^^ i'm more than happy to talk about it!

short answer is that yes, i did play, and i had a really good time! I did one "full run" of it. for those curious, i got these in order: the Fury, the Razor, the Damsel, the Prisoner, and the Adversary.

it's a game i'd definitely recommend to anyone who's at least slightly interested in it! and that it's absolutely one that's the most fun going into as blind as possible, BUT by its nature, you'd still have a lot to discover on your own even if you watched someone play part of most of a run ;)

(more concrete commentary and vague spoilers below)

(and of the routes i got, I think Fury and Adversary are my favorites, though I did the Godkiller branch of Fury so I'm really curious to get that again and try going with the Broken's suggestions heh)

I ended up getting what I think could be called a 'middling/Neutral' ending, which was fine, I was playing to explore and pick what felt right in each moment rather than get something more definitive. I think I got a lot of insights by the end of my route so I'm eager to get back into it and play the game at least like 2 more times.

I REALLY enjoy the game, I think the ideas behind it are so cool and I love how it has so much replay-ability. like, I watched Joseph Anderson's playthrough of it (which was super funny, though I didn't finish watching the end of it bc he got a different Ending than I did and I didn't wanna see every detail of that), and it was really interesting to see not only what other routes he discovered, but how when he encountered routes that I'd also run into (Razor, Damsel), he managed to get slightly-to-moderately different versions of them! Like, his version of the Princess at the end of his Damsel route was totally different from mine!

The presentation is perfect, too. I'm already quite familiar with Jonathan Sims' voice talents of course, since I've been a huge fan of The Magnus Archives for the last ~5 years, and he wrote/voiced in that podcast. He does a phenomenal job acting out all the Voices in STP, and it was really nice to hear him performing again (even as I'm keeping up with the TMA sequel podcast, where he also voices, just not as predominantly!)

The voice acting for the Princess was amazing too, I LOVED hearing all the different variations of her vocal presentation. I thought it was such an immediately cool detail... especially since I chose to take the knife down with me on my very first go at it, so my first impression of her was the much more dangerous and stern delivery, which I wasn't expecting - I anticipated the writing to have her play innocent at first, but of course I know now why that wasn't the case, hehehe.

and of course the artwork is amazing. i LOVE how it's kept to a more sketchy, work-in-progress feeling style, i think it conveys the fragility and impermanence and transformative nature of the game and where it takes place. and of course all the ways the princess is stylized, both more subtly and obviously, in each route, is one of the most fun elements of discovering new versions of her. a lot of the compositions are great and i love her expressions a ton!! uhg just really great artwork all around

and speaking of art, the ost is fantastic, really perfect ambiance as well as tracks that convey the feel of each route, like, i'd call them each uniquely textured in a way perfectly suited to each. i'll probably throw the ost on by itself at some point to try appreciating the music on its own a bit more

overall great game!! im excited to play it again and im curious just how many variations of paths and endings there are!

Quick post for Ghosts 3x03

I never got around to making the post but it's almost time for the next episode so let's do this lol

Hetty's scandalous artwork xD genuinely loved that lol, so good

And Nancy's comment xD she slayed that lol

Genuinely though, getting more Hetty backstory was amazing!! It's so sad what happened though :(( I know we know her dad was Not Good but it just sucks :(. And her poor man xd.

I am glad Isaac ended up not listening to her though lol. Like sure, protecting your money in many cases is totally valid. But also like. It's 10 thousand dollars and you're dead xD. What is either of you gonna do with it without the other's say so lol. It's not a deal breaker xD. Anyway, I love Isaac and Nigel with my whole heart thank you <33.

I knew Bela would start seeing him as a bad boy after lying to her xD. I'm glad she still stood up for herself though!! Also it's just wild that he came up with that lie in the first place 💀. Poor ghosts though, they were so happy and hopeful for a second xd. Anyway, I do think it would've been interesting to see them try and communicate it without Sam! But Sam coming back made for some hilarious moments lol. Her and Jay lying about it too was wild though 💀. And him throwing himself down the stairs xD man is out of control slfjdhs. Also naur the Flower mention 😭😭💔. Also oof for blowing his cover with that xd. I am glad Bela found out, though, she deserved to know. Also the biker being a ghost XDD. But nonetheless, I am glad she's still with a mostly good guy lol. Also why didn't Jay and Sam just try and convince her that made him a bad boy instead of keep up the lie lol xD.

And I genuinely kinda expected him to start seeing ghosts for real after his fall and not have anyone believe him for a hot second XD. Anyway lol!

Ahh right his name is Eric

I saw it when I was looking up a summary to make sure I wasn't missing anything xD.

Also, I loved seeing Thor and Sass watching Hetty's flashback! A their reactions were great lol, and B it's nice when we see the older ghosts in flashbacks :)! Helps everything more connected :D. Also I'm glad they managed to help because of it.

Anyway, Alberta, Pete, and Trevor also slayed <3 we just didn't see as much of them. Though of course there's still Trevor being hung up on Bela lol. Good for him I guess xD

Oh and the idea to bring Flower back with a seance!! I'll talk about that in a minute but for now just AAAHHHH that would be so slay :'D

I also watched the promo for the next episode, and WOW it looks wild lol. A seance, AND CAROL DYING?? I'm wondering if maybe she'll die but go up to heaven, and the seance will bring her down (briefly). But, who knows I guess ┐⁠(⁠ ⁠∵⁠ ⁠)⁠┌. I don't think we're going to see Flower, but it would be really nice :')). Especially for Thor :'D :'( 🥰🥰❤️. I miss her so much 🥺😭❤️. But, I'm just not sure that I believe we will.

Anyway, I loved this episode!! It was great :D. It was fun seeing Eric and Bela again, and thinking, if even just for a moment lol, there might be someone else who can see ghosts xD :). And it was great to see more of Hetty's life! Also, just, Nisaac <3. But yeah :DD! I had a lot of fun watching this episode :)).

I'll see y'all for the next one!!

#ghosts #ghosts cbs #cbs ghosts #oasis's ghosts chatter #ghosts cbs 3x03 #really good episode :D #so slay frankly :)!!

The House of Wax (MichaelMyersxOC) (Crossover)

There weren't many attractions in Ambrose, it was a long dormant town rigged to appear alive, after all. But one thing that drew Alia's attention is the House of Wax, a museum dedicated to the said medium and she absolutely wanted to go see it. She loved museums, and one dedicated to a form of artwork was definitely up her alley. after making sure with Vincent the day before that it was alright, she headed out. She wouldn't be going alone, of course, as Michael had made it clear from the start of their being reunited, that she wasn't going anywhere without him.

Except work, granted. She managed to convince him through great effort and explaining the cost of living and bills to let her go to work. He still watched from a distance, however. Today? She saw it as more like a little date, and some time for just the two of them so Michael had a chance to decompress from being around so many people. Honestly, she was surprised he was bothering with interacting to begin with, and grateful he was. The others seemed to be surprisingly mindful of him as well, she couldn't be sure if it was out of kindness, because of his reputation, or both.

She hoped it was the former, but these were hardened killers with a spectrum of trauma and issues, and she was a pessimist, so it was hard to say. She was honestly just impressed everyone was getting along so damn well, though their much more stable significant others probably had a lot to do with it. Everyone was trying their hardest to make it work.

Coming up to the door, she was amazed when she felt wax under her fingers instead of wood. The name was more than apt, it was very literal. Already intrigued, she pushed it open and went inside, Michael right behind her.

He didn't understand her interest, it was a fake house, essentially. Big deal. But he'd humor her. If anything, he just liked seeing her excited about something, as it wasn't often she had the chance to be.

First thing, they were greeted with elaborate creations, all in paint and wax, beautiful and lifelike. Even marble tiles and wood were masterfully recreated to where only touch would help one realize they were all of the same medium. Alia's jaw dropped and eyes widened, looking from object to painting to sculpture, even people! She couldn't stop herself from making small sounds of admiration as she took her time to admire each piece.

Meanwhile, Michael followed quietly behind her, less interested in all these things than she, but he did find curiosity when it came to the posed people. Tilting his head, he leaned down to get a better look at them, towering over just about all the creations present. Raising a hand, he lightly prodded a man's cheek, and felt the wax give just a bit. Curious... He considered pressing harder, but Alia was quick to stop him.

"Best not to touch the art, Michael. We might damage it, wax can be a delicate medium." Alia said, gently touching his hand. She could see him look at her, debate if he was going to listen, then lowered his hand. "Thank you, sweetheart." She said with a smile, kissing his rough cheek before she went back to browsing. "Vincent's work is beautiful, it's all seamless, I can't really tell where his mother's works stop and his begins at points. I don't think Ellie ever told me how he makes them so life like. The proportions are amazing to the last detail." She absently went on to say, moving from one room to another, and another after that.

Eventually she stopped when she came to a stairway leading down, surprised by how different an atmosphere it had at a glance to the rest of the building. "I wonder where this goes..." she thought out loud, with no intention to actually find out, as she had a feeling it wasn't part of the attraction. Michael, on the other hand, decided he was going to do exactly that, and began descending the cramped staircase, just barely tall enough for his frame. "Michael, I don't think-" She began, with no sign from him that he was even listening. Sighing in frustration, she began to follow. "Why do I try? I should know better by now..." She whispered to herself in exasperation.

The staircase was lined with carvings, eerie and not like the house's main décor or themes. It grew more macabre... Michael heard a subtle movement and snapped his attention to the left, only to see a hellish workroom filled with tables, tools, and a furnace of sorts. He only managed a glance before he caught Vincent moving towards him quickly. Michael looked at him with a questioning, almost demanding frown, and Vince quickly signed out of reflex, momentarily forgetting they didn't know ASL, before shooing him back.

Michael didn't retreat from where he stood at the bottom of the stairs, but also didn't go forward, just staring at Vincent expecting some kind of explanation or tell that would explain why he was acting so urgent. "Vincent?" Alia's voice came from behind the giant, and the male artist seemed to become even more frantic in waving them back up the stairs. "Come on, Michael. I'm sure there's a good reason." She said as she tugged at the back of the man's shirt, getting the feeling that whatever was down there, Vince didn't want them seeing it. Namely her. He kept moving his body to block any direction she might look past her towering love. Michael begrudgingly went back up the staircase with her going first, and Vincent was quick to follow after.

At the top, he pointed at Alia, then the basement, and shook his head adamantly.

"I understand, I'm sorry." She replied, wondering if she upset him, but his body language suggested he was more concerned than upset. "Michael wanted to see what was down there and I followed."

Vincent sighed, nodding in understanding before he pulled a notepad out of his pocket. He came prepared when it dawned on him they might wander where they shouldn't, and hurried over. Jotting quickly in tight, neat script, he showed it to them.

"It's dangerous, and where I do my work, Not even Ellie is allowed, for her sake. Don't go down there."

Alia nodded. "I see. Again, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cross boundaries." She apologized, only to receive a gesture that it was alright.

Michael tilted his head and then gestured for the notepad and made a writing gesture with his other hand. Understanding, Vincent passed the paper and pen to him. Soon it was given back with a question;

"I want to see."

Vince paused, clearly thinking, before he decided. He nodded to Michael's poorly worded "request" before he then pointed and shook his head at Alia. He quickly jotted down "For your safety" as emphasis. He then wrote more, and held it visibly for Michael. "Tonight I will show you my work." Michael was visibly pleased with that and nodded in turn. A third line of script read, "For now, stay out, it's not good for her."

Alia wasn't sure what that meant, but she had her suspicions. Ellie never detailed his darker habits, only touched on it, and it wasn't hard to think that there was something much more unnerving down there. One thought lead to another, and she began to wonder if everything here was really made of wax...

-------------------------

A/N: A grim end to a cheerful day. Alia is going to have to have a conversation with Ellie about this and figure some things out. :0 Meanwhile, Michael gets to learn just how real those wax sculptures really are! I’ll start writing that experience soon, itching to do something darker :)

yes, i remember hearing that about disney having the rights for tarzan until around 2005 as well! i wonder if kingdom hearts being a collaboration between disney and a completely different company may have complicated things further for them. the second game "chain of memories" was released in 2004 and has a plot where sora revisits every single disney world he visited in the first game, in the form of essentially replicas of those worlds created out of his own memories... except the tarzan world (deep jungle) is inexplicably missing. there is, however, an early development image from that game that indicates it was planned to appear at one point and was removed. it's a shame, i would've loved a chance to see more parts of the world and interact more with tarzan and jane.

this reminds me, there's been quite a few other disney crossover projects over the years that tarzan characters have never appeared in and i'm sure it must be because of the copyright issues. the mobile game "disney magic kingdoms", for example, features nearly any disney movie and any character from said movies that you could think of except of course for tarzan! and i wish something could be done to allow them to appear. i don't know if you've heard of the disney lorcana trading card game, but the cards from it have some gorgeous art and even though it's still pretty new, it's done a good job so far of representing some of disney's more neglected properties. but obviously there's no tarzan cards and i fear that eventually it'll be the only movie in the disney animated canon to not have any. i am glad that the characters were allowed to show up in the recent once upon a studio short, at least. ooh, yeah, i've never been to the festival of the arts either but i've seen videos and pictures from it online! i would love to be able to go and see all of the beautiful art and the disney on broadway concerts in person. i'm actually not very familiar with the tarzan musical, but i love several of the other musicals disney has done. also, i'll definitely have to check out those artists you mentioned! i highly agree with you about howard ashman. i don't know if you've seen the documentary about him, simply titled "howard", but i definitely recommend it. another one of my favorite things about beauty and the beast is the way that belle and the beast are both people who have been ostracized from society in different ways but who are able to connect and find happiness with each other. and when i think about how howard was a gay man with HIV who poured so much of himself into the lyrics he wrote and all of the ideas he contributed to the movie, it just breaks my heart that he never got to see it completed. he and alan were such a perfect team. -🌟

That's a good point, that probably did make things more difficult. The more companies involved, the more legal stuff to work out. I'm so glad Tarzan was included in the first one, but so sad they never brought him back, especially when it looks like they wanted to.

Disney Magic Kingdoms is the only game I actually do play! I've never had any hope we'd get Tarzan in that, even with how good they are with rarer movies… they even just added the Black Cauldron!!! But I've often dreamed of what could be. The thought of what the tokens might look like, and the attractions they could do?! Obviously the Treehouse, but maybe one based on Trashin' the Camp, or a "tree surfing" roller coaster?

I haven't really looked into Lorcana, but I have seen some of the artwork, everything I've seeing looks so incredible!! Would be so amazing to see Tarzan characters included. Darn that copyright!

Once Upon a Studio was so amazing. I watched "knowing" there would be no Tarzan, but they took so much pity on us. Still incredibly short, but there was so many Tarzan characters in it!!

I've seen Howard a couple of times, it was so well done and so worth the wait for it. I agree with you about Belle and the Beast. Howard really brought that out in a way no one else could. It's so unfair he never got to see the masterpiece he helped create, but what a gift he gave to the world.
